Pompei is an amazing and beautiful historic landmark....history in hardened ashe

The atmosphere is truly daunting, thousands of years and still a silence (even with tourists) pervades the area. Amazingly preserved artwork, bodies, and houses to walk through and experience. AMAZING history lesson to share with the kids.

What a great place!!! So much history!!! A lot of tourists but definetly worth the visit!!! Everyone has said it for me, an amazing place to go to!!!! I am going back to visit my family in Napoli over Christmas and would really like to go back and see more of Pompei. One visit will not do the place justice. If you plan on seeing everything take a few days and stay in Napoli or Sorrento(I recommend Napoli, more authentic Italian)!!!!

It's been years since I visited Pompeii, but the impression is lasting. Everyone should go and experience Pompeii - history buff or not - the place is incredible. With Mt. Vesuvius looming in the backgroud (and still active, by the way), Pompeii is a village frozen in time. The restored ruins are a glimpse into ancient history - vibrantly restored colors, advanced technology (for the time), and casts of Vesuvian victims bring the tragic loss of the bustling port city back to life. I was especially impressed with the city streets and public baths. A fascinating walk through time. . .I could have spent my entire vacation here.

I'm honestly not that interested in ancient cultures, but it's certainly worth a stop if you're in Napoli. Getting here is made convenient when using the light rail. The view of Vesuvius is nice. Be sure to wear decent (soft) shoes cause you'll be walking on a lot of rough stone.

If you are going to Italy you must make the trip to Pompeii. The ruins are stunning for their story frozen in the bricks and casts of bodies that adorn the place. Burried in ash in 79 CE, there are places along the main street where the ash has not been removed. The impact of the ash and the ruins is sobering. The volcano looms in the distance and everpresent reminder that this could all happen again. Beware of the dogs that wander through the ruins. Be prepared to walk the streets that Romans walkes 2000 years ago and soak in a bit of history.

Just to know that before Unated State was created this place was already there is amazing , is well preserve and BEAUTIFULL. You got to go there if youvisit Naples Italy

i have visit pompeii italy twice and i can almost tell you that it was so real a place of ancient history and the people it is really a great place to go for a vacation there and to visit it i reccommend it to all people who have never been there anyone can camp out there at pompeii and or pay for room it seem very cheap and resonable some should try it out and see how fun it is to do things

Liked everything; no dislikes. Stationed at AFSOUTH Headquarters 1963-1966

An emotional experience. With all the restoration that has been done, you leave feeling as though you were almost relate to these people. The casts made from the cavities left in the solified ash can be both horrifying and captivating. Definately worth the short jaunt. And no price is too high for this piece of history!
